914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Gettin tired of grinding

I'm about worn out. Welding and grinding are hard work. I'll be glad to move onto something else.

Get a real grinder for about 49 bucks at Home Deepblow.

They spin alot faster than your drill and will make it less tiring.

It pains me to see guys using tools that......ah....suck.
For tight spots....and not so tight, die grinders.....here shown with a few of the attachments available.

For heavy duty work...or wide open spaces. None of these tools cost more than 50 bucks.....cept that electric die grinder.....which I don't use much because it has too much poop. Snuggle into a tight spot with that sucker and it'll eat you alive . The air powered jobbies are much easier to control

Dave,

You look wooped!

They're right, you'll be much happier with the air powered stuff.

Bought me one of those electric Deck and Blacker 4 inch grinders at WallyMart for $33. Came with 5 free grinding disks.

Plenty power, plenty good.

Also like dremels for fine finesse. Seen guys take off a coupla tenths (of a thousandth) with one of those.
